Strength and Flexibility (Pilates) 50:00 [2]
Bands.
1 PM
Trail Run 45:52 7.18 km (6:24 / km) +46m 6:12 / km
ahr:136 max:151 shoes: NB 1210 "Leadville"
Run in the Albany Pine Bush, starting at the Blueberry Hill East trailhead. Trails have been rerouted some since I was last here quite a while ago. The intent is to have the trails mostly follow the perimeters of the various parcels of the Pine Bush Preserve to reduce "fragmentation" so the wildlife has larger pieces of environment to live in, which apparently they prefer. The Pine Bush is a rare ecosystem and there is a significant effort to restore and preserve what hasn't already been developed. Unfortunately, part of the "development" is the City of Albany landfill, which is still active and is huge.
It was quite hot when I ran, nearly 90F, but the dew point was about 60F so it wasn't too opressive. Fortunately clouds blocked the sun for much of the time. (Who knew that 2pm wouldn't be a good time to run when summer-like temperatures are predicted.)
Saw three sizable patches of blue lupines starting to bloom but no sightings of Karner Blue butterflies (for whom blue lupines are their only food source).
